(AP Photo) Warren Studies Special Session SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Possibility of a special session of the state legislature around the middle of June, to act on a new school building bond issue looms greater, with the statement of Governor Earl Warren and the subject is "wide open." The governor said he hopes the legislators who had divergent opinions on the proposed bond issue at the 1952 session have reconciled the differences, and are prepared to adopt a measure to provide additional funds for building schools in distressed districts. The state already has bonded itself for $250,000,000 all of which has been allocated, and sponsors of a new bond issue contend there is a need for that much more money. The governor said the California Teachers association, which has an initiative on the November ballot for additional average daily attendance allotments which are expected to total close to $130,000,000 annually, has not requested a special session call to put the distressed school building bond issue on the ballot. The governor stated the final date for a special session to enable the measure to make the November general election ballot would be about June 26 but indicated that if a special session is called, it will be before that date. Better Settle Up That Old Traffic Ticket SACRAMENTO (CNS) — Increasing numbers of fugitive California traffic law violators are being caught in the net spread for them by the 1951 legislature, according to Paul Mason, chief of the state division of drivers' licenses. Full effect of the law, however, will not be felt for approximately two more years, he stated. The statute, designed to keep chronic violators and incompetent drivers off the highways and prevent huge accumulations of traffic citations, provides for the court to notify the state department of motor vehicles when a motorist fails to show up after signing a promise to appear in court. The driver's file is flagged by the department, and his operator's license is not renewed until the citation is cleared by the courts. Mason said that during the first three months operation of the law, the score was as follows: Notices of failure to appear received from court: February 1952, 463; March 2485; April 4333. Renewal applications held up: February, none; March, 20; April, 56. Cases cleared by court: February, 15; March, 458; April, 756. The figures will build up slowly as four-year licenses expire, and motorists apply for renewal. Mason said.

SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY Presbyterians Warn of Thought Control in America NEW YORK (UP)—The Presbyterian church in the U.S.A. has called on its 2,500,000 members to fight "the unmistakable trend toward authoritarianism and thought control" in America. In a stinging attack on widespread use of loyalty oaths, character defamation and the concept of "guilt by association," the church's 164th annual General Assembly declared yesterday: "Freedom of conscience, Inquiry and expression are being challenged and curtailed by a blinding fear of subversive forces." The assembly, at the close of a week-long meeting attended by about 2000 church leaders from throughout the country, also: 1. Urged churches to eliminate racial segregation, and complimented those that have. 2. Voiced opposition to universal military training as a "permanent peacetime program." 3. Opposed sending a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican. 4. Expressed strong support of the United Nations, and said it should be the "cornerstone of American foreign policy, and not an instrument of convenience." 5. Declared economic aid programs "safe of great significance to the hope of a free world than the development of military strength." 6. Assailed inefficiency in government; waste in military expenditures; needless deficit spending, and "deliberate inflationary policies" designed to create a "false sense of prosperity." 7. Called on Christians to take a greater part in political life.
